Summary:
The city of Fredericksburg, Texas is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this Fredericksburg Independent School District (Isd) showcase a range of academic performance, with Fredericksburg High School standing out as a strong performer and Gillespie County High School facing some challenges.
Fredericksburg High School is the largest school in the district with 1,003 students and boasts an impressive 97.4% 4-year graduation rate and a low 0.8% dropout rate. The school also performs well on several STAAR end-of-course exams, exceeding the district and state averages in subjects like Biology, English I/II, and U.S. History. In contrast, Gillespie County High School, with only 40 students, has a 100% 4-year graduation rate but significantly lower performance on STAAR exams compared to the district and state.
The elementary and middle schools in the district have more mixed results, with some grades and subjects performing above the district and state, while others fall below. This suggests the need for a closer examination of curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to ensure consistent academic achievement across all grade levels. The varying free/reduced lunch rates among the schools also highlight the socioeconomic diversity within the district, which could inform the development of targeted support and resources for different student populations.
